Im curious, how many people spend too much time on these boards and KNOW they're spending too much time on these boards but do it NE Way. Could you explain why you do it?Also, for the veterans (not according to your title or number of posts), How many people feel the boards have changed? Did it feel like a tight knit community before? How does it feel now? Would you bring back some old posters if you could? (Who?)I miss CR125. Is he still posting? And what happened to Rockin Robin?Helms, give me a call bro.

Yeah CR is still posting. I do think the boards have changed a lot in the last few years. When I first joined back in 2000 the boards didn't have as much nonsense as they do now. I like it better then, but nothing stays the same unfortunately.Yeah I'd also like to know what some of these people on here do with their lives. Some seem to be on here 24/7.

Well I'm not that old on here but I'll still give my opinion...I think it sux that there's always at least one ass who posts on this forum. I remember back when I first joined there was some guy (can't remember his name), then it was me for a while (unfortunately) and now it's almighty Steve.I don't know how popular HeHe was but I liked him... I don't see him aruond here anymore and I thought he was cool... oh well

I didn't say he was stupid... he may be smart but he shouldn't be an ass in every thread... but I can't really say too much about it because I did it once too... but I was mad depressed back then and all... whatever

Definetly changed.. i remember when i first started i got in trouble for chit chatting and was told if i did it again i'd be removed from the board!This place now should be called afraidtogossip? because thats all it is really... i dont like this site much nemore.. i only come here when im bored.

Happiness is an attitude. We either make ourselves miserable, or happy and strong. The amount of work is the same.

In reply to:almighty SteveI once challenged someone to prove that I'm not Jesus, but now you've taken it to a new level.In reply to:one assPlease, kiss me!In reply to:Did it feel like a tight knit community before?It's hard to stay tightly knit when there are so many people posting, and people come and go. It's the usual community-doomed-by-its-own-success thing. There are a few people here who seem very tightly knit, and they all joined within the past few months.In reply to:much nonsenseSince threads disappear after a year, we'll have to take your word for it.In reply to:I think when one joins less then a few months ago, and is already a veteran, that's a sure sign that s/he has way too much time on their hands, and has little or no life outside of these boards.I see two people who fit that description, a third well on her way, and a fourth whose posting time has been crimped by a pesky girlfriend. Maybe those people are all quadriplegics, and this forum is their only outlet. Maybe the things they say about themselves are all made up. You haven't seen any pictures, have you?But judging the person rather than what the person says (which is all you have to go by in a text forum) is a bit, uh, prejudiced, isn't it?

quadriplegics...sounds a little far-fetched. But if so, they only have one thing to do and one thing to spend their time with, and that's these boards? Granted they are sometimes very interesting, but enough to spend almost every waking moment on? Doubtful.

"I once challenged someone to prove that I'm not Jesus, but now you've taken it to a new level."Well hey man, you seem to build your ego by spending a lot of time on an internet web site, so I'm just trying to help."I see two people who fit that description, a third well on her way, and a fourth whose posting time has been crimped by a pesky girlfriend. Maybe those people are all quadriplegics, and this forum is their only outlet. Maybe the things they say about themselves are all made up. You haven't seen any pictures, have you?"Please tell me you realize you're one of those people?

In reply to:a third well on her way, Is that me your on about?????I study at home a lot, and when i take a break i tend to get a coffee, and have a browse of the boards, simply cos if I start anything else i wouldnt' drag myself back to the studying...LOLI don't actually think that anyone has the right to pry into someones personal life, who cares if they don't work, or if they do work and stay up all night posting. Everyone on here has something relevant to say, and i think i have read something really useful or helpful from just about everyone who posts.

Yeah well I miss Stoopid Man too! I remember I used to get mad when people posted stupid stuff just to become a veteran. We shouln't let the little stuff get to us so much. Our own stress level and blood pressure should not depend on the actions of others. But yeah, I mostly posted cus I m was feeling nostalgic

I assume your response wasn't directed at me, because I agree with you.I've criticized a certain poster, and her response was often a critique of her perception of my personal life, or lack thereof. Same with a certain moderator who has exhibited similar tendencies.But the response has been to never give an inch, to lash out, or to pout. It's like discussing ethics with Tom DeLay (except for the pouting part). Were things different in the old days?

> What does this have to do with me? You took over the chairmanship of the Department of Post Criticism for a while. You seemed to take issue with the quality of Telecaster's posts (among other things). He does need a new gimmick.
